What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 2, 2025. For example:
302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded once on May 11, 2026. For example:
401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on May 20, 2025. For example:
201 - Food contaminated or unfit for human consumption [s. 13]
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded once on May 11, 2026. For example:
306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

These results come from Fraser Health Authority, which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.
4 inspections
- Routine Inspection
2 infractions
- 401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
- Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): No liquid soap and paper towels were available at the hand washing stations, preventing staff from properly washing and drying their hands
- Corrective Action(s): Liquid soap and paper towels at all hand washing stations were replenished during the inspection. Ensure liquid soap and paper towels are always available. Missing supplies at the handwashing stations increases the risk of foodborne illness transmission and does not meet required hand hygiene standards
- Violation Score: 5
- 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
- Observation: Food debris was observed accumulating under the cooking line (burners and deep-fry) indicating inadequate cleaning of cooking equipment and surrounding areas
- Corrective Action(s): Clean and remove all food debris under the burner immediately. Implement a routine cleaning schedule to ensure the area beneath and around the burners is cleaned at the end of each day. Food debris can attract pests, create odors, and increase the risk of cross-contamination. Regular cleaning prevents build-up and supports compliance with sanitation requirements.
